Low-Voltage Circuit Design
[ send me this paper ]
A 42 page paper discussing basic designs enroute to
devising a project focusing on voice recognition circuitry and control. The intended application is
not ultimately intended to be that used for voice-to-text designs, though it could be. Rather, the
project focus is more that designed as a security measure, such as that ensuring that the user of a
cellular telephone is indeed the subscriber to the cellular service on which that specific telephone's
service is billed. Voice recognition can be seen to be approaching a standard in the future. That
standard seems to be far in the future, but it likely will be attached to natural language and context
sensitivity. In order to be truly useful, it will need to be based on the simplest circuits achievable.
Includes 16 figures, bibliography lists 25 sources.

20th Century Knowledge -- Revolution or Evolution?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses technological and intellectual advances that
have taken place in the 20th century and whether or not such an
expansion of knowledge has been due to great new ideas suddenly
appearing on the intellectual horizon or a technological
evolution of ideas that has led to such commonplace realities as
photocopy machines, personal computers, and jet travel. It is
important to understand that the foundations of any enterprise
determine the heights to which it can rise and the breadth to
which it can expand. This writer takes the viewpoint that the
advancement of knowledge over the past century has been
evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Bibliography lists 2
sources.
